  • Patent number: 11514089
    Abstract: A geospatial monitoring system may include a memory and a processor cooperating with the memory to obtain crowd-sourced mobile data (CSMD) for a geographic region, identify a plurality of geospatial sites within the geographic region based upon the CSMD, and determine a classification of each of the plurality of geospatial sites based upon the CSMD. The processor may further determine a pattern-of-life normalcy model for each of the geospatial sites based upon a respective classification, determine an abnormality in a respective pattern-of-life normalcy model at a given geospatial site based upon the CSMD, and initiate additional monitoring for the given geospatial site having the abnormality.

  • Patent number: 11143769
    Abstract: A seismic modeling system is provided which may include a seismic model data storage device, and a processor cooperating with the seismic model data storage device to identify an obstruction within a seismic model spatial domain data set having a lateral boundary, and define a suspect area including spatial domain data within the lateral boundary and directly below the obstruction. The processor may further inpaint the suspect area in the seismic model spatial domain data set based upon an exemplar inpainting algorithm.

  • Patent number: 10871585
    Abstract: A system is for processing seismic data for a geologic formation generated by an array of acoustic transducers responsive to an acoustic source. The system may include a seismic data storage device, and a processor cooperating with the seismic data storage device to generate correlations of data from the array of acoustic transducers based upon a current estimate for at least one of density and velocity of the geologic formation, and perform a linear optimization based upon a plurality of different combinations of the correlations to determine a given subset of correlations having a highest objective function associated therewith. The processor may also update the current estimate for at least one of density and velocity of the geologic formation based upon the given subset of correlations.

  • Patent number: 10429527
    Abstract: A seismic modeling system may include a seismic model data storage device, and a processor cooperating with the seismic model data storage device to determine a first 3D boundary around a suspect region within a first seismic model spatial domain data set for a geological formation at a first time, and determine a second 3D boundary around the suspect region within a second seismic model spatial domain data set for the geological formation at a second time and after movement of the suspect region. The processor may also compare the second 3D boundary to the first 3D boundary to determine an overlapping portion where the first and second 3D boundary regions overlap, and at least one non-overlapping portion where the first and second 3D boundaries do not overlap, and inpaint the overlapping portion based upon the at least one non-overlapping portion.

  • Patent number: 10261205
    Abstract: A system for processing seismic data for a geologic formation generated by an array of acoustic transducers responsive to an acoustic source may include a seismic data storage device and a processor. The processor may cooperate with the seismic data storage device to use a volatility measurement model to generate current correlations of data from the array of acoustic transducers based upon a current estimate for at least one of density and velocity of the geologic formation, and compare the current correlations to a threshold. When the current correlations are below the threshold, the processor may update the current estimate for at least one of density and velocity of the geologic formation, and repeat use of the volatility measurement model to generate updated correlations of data from the array of acoustic transducers based upon the updated estimate for at least one of density and velocity of the geologic formation.

  • Patent number: 10215866
    Abstract: A seismic modeling system may include a seismic model data storage device, and a processor cooperating with the seismic model data storage device to transform a seismic model spatial domain data set associated with a given region into a seismic frequency domain data set, where the given region includes a suspect region, transform a seismic model spatial domain data subset associated with the suspect region into a seismic frequency domain data subset, and perform inpainting of the seismic frequency domain data subset based upon the seismic frequency domain data set. The processor may further convert the inpainted seismic frequency domain data subset into an inpainted spatial domain data subset, and substitute the inpainted spatial domain data subset for the seismic model spatial domain data subset associated with the suspect region in the seismic model spatial domain data set associated with the given region.
